Medard Kowalski, 17, disappeared last month while hunting on an island on the Susquehanna River. He was last spotted on the river in his canoe near the new market boat launch on Dec. 1.

River rescue teams have been searching for Medard for a month using boats, dogs, helicopters and sonar. They've found his canoe, an oar and a backpack, but no Medard.

The family and friends of Medard are desperate to find him before winter sets in and the river freezes. The river rescue team admits it's out of ideas and is hoping the public can help.

They're asking anyone who lives or works along the river and may have seen Medard or has surveillance video from Dec 1. to come forward and share it.

The community is reaching out to help Medard's family.

Kuppy's Diner in Middletown is pooling money to help bring the Kowalski family back together and find Medard. On Thursday, the diner raised $2,100. The money raised will help the rescue crews fuel their boats and continue the search.

No official search team was on the water Thursday. New Cumberland River Rescue said a large-scale search is in the works starting Friday.
